NAEP 2026 PARENT-GUARDIAN NOTIFICATION LETTER
Grades 4, 8, and 12 Civics, Mathematics, Reading, or U.S. History
Monday, February 9, 2026
Dear Parent or Guardian:
Bottineau Junior-Senior High School will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country.
Your child will/may take a mathematics or reading assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete NAEP survey questions, These questions provide valuable information about participating students' educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom. More information about NAEP survey questions is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section "Survey Questionnaires & Your Student: What You Need to Know,”
The assessment takes about 120 minutes for most students, which includes transition time, directions, and completion of survey questions.
The information collected is used for statistical purposes only.
• Your child's grades will not be affected.
• Students may be excused for any reason, are not required to complete the assessment, and may skip any question.
While the assessment is voluntary, NAEP depends on student participation to help policymakers improve education. If you do not want your child to
participate, please notify me in writing by Friday, Feb 13, 2026.
There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do their best. Contact Nara Glasner at 701-228-2266 or at nara.glasner@k12.nd.us if you have any questions.
We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that Bottineau Junior-Senior High School's students will show what our nation's students know and can do.
Sincerely,
Adam Beyer
